Additional Notes
How do Records compare to traditional DTOs in terms of mutability?

Topic: Modern Java

Answer
Records are immutable, whereas DTOs can be mutable.
While traditional DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) often allow for mutable fields, Java Records enforce immutability, which can reduce bugs related to state changes. In an e-commerce application, using records for immutable product data ensures consistency across different parts of the system.
